Definitions

  • This invention pertains to the preparation of 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds by the reaction of 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid with 2-aminophenol compounds in the presence of a tin or titanium catalyst and certain solvents.
  • Unsubstituted and substituted 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds are known compositions of matter which are useful as optical brightening or whitening agents in various polymeric materials, particularly fiber-forming, synthetic polymers.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,921,964 discloses the preparation of bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds by the reaction of dialkyl stilbenedicarboxylate ester with various 2-aminophenol compounds in the presence of certain solvents and catalysts.
  • 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid in preparing 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds generally does not give satisfactory results because of the high melting point of the diacid and its limited solubility in many solvents.
  • the '089 patent discloses that 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid may be used in the preparation of 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds by the reaction thereof with certain 2-aminophenols using a substantial amount of powerful phosphoric acid dehydrating agents such as pyrophosphoric and polyphosphoric acids as the reaction medium.
  • 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds may be obtained in good purity and yields by a simple, one-step process wherein 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid is reacted with 2-aminophenol compounds in the presence of a tin or titanium catalyst and certain solvents.
  • the present invention therefore provides a process for the preparation of 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene compounds having the formula ##STR1## which comprises reacting 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid with one or more 2-aminophenol compounds having the formula ##STR2## in the presence of a tin or titanium catalyst and an inert organic solvent having a boiling point above 200° C., wherein each R 1 is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl of up to about 12 carbon atoms and alkoxy of up to about 12 carbon atoms. R 1 preferably represents hydrogen or alkyl of up to about 4 carbon atoms, especially methyl.
  • the 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene products may be isolated by filtration in a purity which is sufficient for use without further purification.
  • inert, organic solvents examples include naphthalene; alkyl-substituted naphthalene compounds such as methylnaphthalene and dimethylnaphthalenes; halogenated naphthalenes such as chloronaphthalene; biphenyl; aromatic ethers such as diphenylether; aromatic alkanes such as diphenylethane; and the like.
  • Alkyl-substituted naphthalenes containing a total of 11 to 20 carbon atoms represent the preferred solvents.
  • the amount of solvent employed is not important. However, the weight ratio of the solvent to the total weight of the 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid with 2-aminophenol reactants typically will be in the range of 2:1 to 10:1.
  • the process typically is carried out over a temperature range of about 200° to 300° C., preferably 220° to 260° C.
  • Pressure normally is not an important process condition and the process therefore normally is performed at ambient pressure or moderately elevated pressure generated in a sealed reactor, i.e., autogenous pressures.
  • the organo-tin and organo-titanium catalyst compounds useful in my novel process are well known esterification, polyesterification, alcoholysis, and acidolysis catalysts. These compounds are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,585,208 and references cited therein.
  • the prepared organo-titanium compounds are titanium alkoxides containing a total of up 20 carbon atoms. preferably 4 to 16 carbon atoms. Titanium tetraisopropoxide and acetyltitanium triisopropoxide are specific examples of suitable organo-titanium catalysts.
  • the organo tin compounds may be selected from dihydrocarbyltin oxides such as dibutyltin oxide.
  • the amount of the organo-titanium and organo-tin catalysts which may be used normally is in the range of about 5 to 20 mole percent based on the moles of 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid present.
  • Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using equimolar amounts of 2-amine-4-methylphenol and 2-amino-4-tertiary butylphenol to obtain 4,4'-bis(5-methyl-2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene and 4,4'-bis(5-t-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene in yields of 90 to 95%.
